They assign the aircraft within the first week of indoc (basic indoctrination) by seniority. Obviously, a class of 20 will have the same hire date, so seniority is assigned by age. I was the youngest in the class, so I got the ATR instead of the jet. I think they are sending 2 new hires out of each class to the ATR, and the rest to the 200 or 700.

no, but in general, most people would rather fly a jet than a turboprop, so the senior people get first choice. I don't agree with that, I think seniority should be assigned by flight time.

The interview was very easy I thought. Make sure you know your jepps inside and out. The written was fairly basic stuff, covering instrument stuff, and some ATP stuff. The sim evaluation was strait forward, hand flown, raw data (no flight director). Just remember to slow to 200 for the hold. Good luck!

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting and Ive got a real quick question about not only ASA but other some of the other regionals. For number or them they talk about conducting a phone interview before they give you an interview date. I am just wondering what all is covered in that pre-interview interview. Sorry if this has already been talked about in another thread. Thanks for the help.

As far as ASA goes the call is not so much a pre-interview as much as a screening to determin wether to send you an app.
